    It surelly will not be Vitali, Helenius, Pulev and Fury.

    The Povetkin fight is very unlikely for the restrictions the WBA would impose.

    J. Banks is a possibility.

    Pudar, Charr are poor matchups, but it seems there is a high probability one of these will happen.

    Adamek is the best matchup, best moneymaker and fan friendly option, available to be made without any restrictions, but it's a tough fight and one Haye will have to work hard to win. Haye's history shows he likes to walk the safe path.

    At last, there is a slim chance for a fight with Arreola, should he win against Stiverne.

      Thompson, I believe.

      Ranked high, fought for world titles, coming off a big win over Price which makes it easy to sell...

      I'd prefer Helenius or Adamek though.

        adamek is my choice...36 & on the decline, big event payday rather it's in england or poland, adamek left main events & says he he had a big fight option in poland. he said he wasn't going to get paid fighting pulev & beating haye would be huge for adamek...it makes sense to me but there have been others saying pudar or povetkin. who knows until he announces it today. pudar is ranked by one of the bodies for some reason. he held the PABA regional belt then beat zumbrano & nascimento but has vacated it since. is haye announcing the event today or is he announcing both his comeback & opponent? if it was a contender like povetkin or adamek they would both be at the press conference. so if he is naming an opponent today i have a feeling we all could be disappointed...

          It's just been confirmed by both parties that a rematch with price will take place on July 6th.

            Hmm....

            If it is indeed a done deal then it's more interesting. Adamek, Charr and Helenius would be the obvious names in that case....would love it to be Povetkin but I don't think he will be interested in a tough fight before he finally mans up and takes the gaurenteed L that's coming his way against Wlad.

                He said that he wants to lock himself into position as a mandatory challenger by beating two top ten heavyweights, Charr is at number 8 in the WBC? So if Haye is aiming at Vitali then Charr seems like the likely choice.

                  Haye is ****** if he thinks Vitali is sticking around for that long.

                    He told the BBC Ukrainian Service: "If David wants to fight, he has to wait because I have to defend my title against an official contender. After that maybe.

                    "If David Haye has [a] high [enough] position on the world rankings, we can fight each other but it will not be soon. The fight against David Haye is not everything for me."
                    THE reigning WBC world heavyweight champion has told the Englishman he'll have to join the queue as he looks to return to the sport after reality TV stint.

                      And in the previous interview he's retiring soon.

                      But yeah, i'd be surprised if Vitali is still fighting 1 year from now.

                      How about Haye worry about fighting other top fighters instead of trying to do the least amount necessary to get a big paycheck.
